Intro: Em D C D x2 Em D It starts with one thing I donʼt know why C It doesnʼt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme D To explain in due time Em D All I know, time is a valuable thing C Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings D Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away Em D Itʼs so unreal, didnʼt look out below C Watch the time go right out the window D Trying to hold on, but didnʼt even know Or wasted it all just to Em D Watch you go, I kept everything inside C And even though I tried, it all fell apart D What it meant to me will eventually be A memory of a time when Chorus: Em G I tried so hard and got so far D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Em G I had to fall to lose it all D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Em D One thing, I donʼt know why C It doesnʼt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme D To remind myself how Em D I tried so hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me C Acting like I was part of your property D Remembering all the times you fought with me Em Iʼm surprised it got so far D Things arenʼt the way they were before C You wouldnʼt even recognize me anymore D Not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me Em D In the end you kept everything inside C And even though I tried, it all fell apart D What it meant to me will eventually be A memory of a time when Chorus: Em G I tried so hard and got so far D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Em G I had to fall to lose it all D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Bridge: Em D Iʼve put my trust in you C D Pushed as far as I can go Em And for all this D C D Thereʼs only one thing you should know Em D Iʼve put my trust in you C D Pushed as far as I can go Em And for all this D C D Thereʼs only one thing you should know Chorus: Em G I tried so hard and got so far D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Em G I had to fall to lose it all D C But in the end it doesnʼt even matter Coda: Em D C D x2
